it came with the 327 . has a 350 now. the son {74} of the previous owner told me his dad took it to the garage for a noise and they put a new engine in it. turned out the noise was the 2 speed axle. that makes a person wonder about how they came up with replacing the engine. cause i noticed it had a blue 350 in it when it should have been an orange engine. also wondered if this 350 would have the 4 bolt mains as truck engines would. it was sitting since 1996 in a quonset . the fuel tank was just thick tar and rust. engine was lightly stuck. give it the snake oil treatment , removed fuel tank and steamed it out overhauled the carb. checked compression all good. replaced master cyl. , has a hyd. clutch also. but ya everything works runs good and is road worthy.

Actually, Chevy orange engines didn't start till 67. The 60-66s had grey 283s and turquoise 327s.
